Default Bohemiam Rhapsody

What an entertaining movie with unbelievable acting (by being so believable). I saw it in a theater tonight with Atmos and the sound was excellent. I highly recommend it.

Looks good to me but the reviews I read we questioning the executive producers Brian May and Roger saying they had their own agenda

What I've heard about those questioning 'their agenda' was that they didn't take into account or weren't aware of how different times were in that era than they are today regarding society's acceptance of sexual orientation.

I saw some of those reviews. It may well be that they had there own agenda. For most true art, the artist has an agenda. That does not change the fact the movie was very well done, really well acted and incredibly entertainment— especially the music. Don’t go see it as a history lesson. Go see it for the same reason you go to most movies, or go into your music room and close the door behind you— as a short vacation from the world outside.

Looking forward to seeing this. My movie experience doesn’t correlate well with reviewer’s ratings. They can spot a stinker but that’s about it.

While I enjoyed the movie and the music, it also felt like it missed the opportunity to reach a bit deeper and some topics, while included, have not been properly explored.

So IMO we end up with a tribute to one of the greatest bands in history, but a movie that would not stand on its own.

watched it in an Imax theater today, impressive movie, normally I don't get emotional for a movie, but this time I had to bite my lip a few times.

Sound in the cinema was good, not much resolution, but they played at a high volume with no distortion.

If you are a Queen fan, a must see.
